How can I fall asleep faster at night? What might help?

There is a technique that has been recently brought up called "4-7-8 breathing". Once you are in bed, breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds. Hold it for 7 seconds, and then breathe out through tightly pursed lips for 8 seconds. This method has been proven to reduce adrenaline production in the body, thus relaxing it. Repeating this a few times may be all it needs to send you to sleep. Some more ways of getting the body relaxed and ready for sleep at night include: turning off all electronics at least 30mins before bed, taking a hot bath, and drinking a cup of chamomile tea. Hope this helps!

Avoid consuming drinks or possibly food that contain caffeine and also try relaxing before bed.You could even try exercising a little before you go to bed,or listen to soft music :)

First, it's very easy to make a sleeping schedule and it helps a lot. If you stick to it, it really does help. You can also sit up in your bed, in the dark, with nothing distracting you, and it will make you tired.

Usually, what I do, is use a whit noise app. I have “relax melodies” where you can mix and match noises to your own liking and have a timer. What also helps me is meditating before I sleep and open some windows/ get fresh air usually calms my brain down.

Reading is often a great way to get to sleep quicker, if you go to bed a little earlier and lay and read, it helps to calm you down, and makes you feel more tired.

Try creating a routine, same time, create a warm cosy place. Also music and some drinks can help, like warm milk and saint john wart tea

You could always read a book or try to watch a show, or some youtube videos even. That's what works for me! :)

Try reading a book, doing some yoga, or listening to relaxing music. Turn off your TV as it stimulates you brain instead of helping you slow down. If you can, leave you bedroom window slightly open to get some fresh air as you sleep. Also, keep lights such as you alarm clock away from eye sight.

Start a routine, typically an hour before bed time. First turn off all electronics that aren't needed, no tv, no cellphone (unless you need to put an alarm), and turn off your computer. Then do something that relaxes you, maybe meditation or reading a book. After all that is done, I recommend eating a small snack and drinking a glass of water. You'll sleep like an angel.

As someone who has had insomnia for years there are a few things I do to help me sleep. One that usually helps the most is listening to a guided meditation - there are some you can download or CDs you can purchase or get from the library. Drinking sleepy tea before bed, taking a hot bath with lavender epsom salt, making sure the room is cool and dark enough also. I also always have a fan on and listen to white noise, which I stream from a free website. If I still have trouble sleeping after all that I get up and do something for a while like reading or journaling - it's not sleep but at least it's better than lying awake in bed all night.

There are several things that can help with falling asleep faster. I would try closing your eyes and visualizing a safe place. Or clearing your mind for 5-10 minutes before you go to sleep. Melatonin, and valerian root are two natural supplements that can aid in sleep as well as elderberry or chamomile tea. When all else fails, speak with your dr about medications to help with sleep. ~Angel

Natural things such as meditation and calm activities before going to bed really help. Also not being on technology or drinking/eating too much sugary foods.

The best advice I have heard is to take a warm bath/shower, don't eat right before bed, and don't do anything involving a lit screen (computers, phones, etc.). Listen to relaxing music and maybe read a book before bed.

Practice good sleep hygiene such as not having caffeine before going to be or take sleep aids such a melatonin.

I find meditation, yoga, deep breathing, warm drinks can be super helpful. There's also melatonin which is a natural sleep hormone that you can try which you can get from the pharmacy

trying right breathing, focusing yourself in one simple dot in your mind, trying to interrupt flow of thoughts and voila. but its not working for me so xD dunno

Listen to soothing music. The slow beat can calm you down and you can just feel yourself floating away. Many times I have listened to soothing music and woken up with my music still playing!

It's dependant on who you are as a person. There's quite a few things you can do, leave some time after eating and sleeping, doing exercise during the day to make you physically tired, try not to stare at a screen, phone or computer before bed - the blue light actually stimulates your brain! Try reading, or taking a bath as well!

I found that reading a book really helps and avoid electronic devices with screens like laptops they emilt blue radiation which agitates our body's natural sleep cycle

There are some alternative techniques, like breathing through your left nostrill and some sleeping positions that you can research on the internet. But mostly it is whatever you do during the day that has the most impact. I would try exercising in the evening, not doing anything except from sleeping in the bedroom, eating well.
